Our seed collection at Watsons Bay Library stocks a variety of seeds which you can borrow, allowing you to plant and grow at home. As a library member, you can take seeds home for free to grow your own food, practice sustainable gardening, and be part of this seed swapping program within our community.

We have a wealth of gardening books in our collection to support you along the way. Additionally, explore our Woollahra Council Community Gardens and join our sustainability events and programs to enhance your garden

  How do I 'borrow' a seed?

    You give back.

    Our goal is to grow our seed collection with diverse varieties contributed by the community. You can help by donating seeds and filling empty seed packets available at the library.

    While there is no pressure to return the seeds you've borrowed, we encourage you to harvest your own seeds and contribute to the sharing and swapping system. This way there are always seeds available.

      Beautiful. Such a stark contrast to large companies monopolizing seeds.

        Makes me wonder if they're checking they're not taking and distributing Monsanto seeds

  Fantastic, never heard of it. You are relying on members' donations to be labelled acurrately though

  Wonderful initiative for the struggling residents of Woollahra Council who own enough land to take advantage of this!

  …genuinely, this is great and I'm stoked seed libraries are on the front page of OzB!!
